Mondo Bringing Remasters of the First Five ‘Halloween’ Franchise Scores to Vinyl, Beginning With 4 & 5

To celebrate 40 years of the Halloweenfranchise, Mondo announces today that they’re thrilled to bring you the first five, newly-remastered Halloween scores on vinyl with slipcase designed by Mike Saputo. They kick things off this week with their long awaited reissues of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers.

Subsequently, Mondo will be continuing with one release a month concluding this October with the original John Carpenter score to the 1978 classic that started it all. The audio for these releases have all been re-mastered and the previously released vinyl versions of Halloween, Halloween II and Halloween III will feature all new artwork.

“To celebrate 40 years of the HALLOWEEN franchise, Death Waltz Recording Company is thrilled to bring you a newly re-mastered version of the score to HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS on vinyl for the first time in 30 years, mastered in 2018 by Alan Howarth. This score marked the first time Howarth was working solo within the HALLOWEEN franchise and he takes the blueprint he and John Carpenter created, but weaves new themes for both Jamie and Michael within the familiar framework of the 5/4 theme timing.”

“HALLOWEEN 5: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS has again been freshly re-mastered by composer Alan Howarth for this first vinyl re-issue in 30 years. He once again takes the familiar HALLOWEEN blueprint but expands it greatly utilizing layers of synths to create a fresh take on something that is familiar to all fans of the franchise.”

In addition to the records themselves, Mondo has produced a slipcase featuring artwork by Mike Saputo that ALL FIVE releases will sit in. The slipcase will ship free to anyone who buys the Halloween 4 and 5 bundle, selling collectively for $60.
